Comments Thread For: Arum: Crawford More Talented, Dedicated Than Broner

[The Gambler1981]

Talented is debatable, they both have a good amount of talent.

Dedication I would say I am not sure of Crawford's level of dedication but Broner appears to be very low on dedication to the game so chances are high that Crawford is more dedicated currently almost solely because he is hungrier at the moment.

Let's see how Crawford looks tonight, maybe put him up against Figueroa next..

[Fetta]

I think both are talented but arum is just doing his job and hyping his fighter by getting the masses talking. If broner beats maidana hell be more popular and arum will hype crawford up as the guy to beat him. Hes promoting his fighter

Can he? IDK but i would like to see fight.

Well so far the proof is in the resumes. Broner has a much better resume. Crawfords claim to fame is Prescott, a journey man, whose only known for the Amir Khan Ko.

I like Crawford and heard he was a hell of an amateur, beating Mickey Garcia a couple times, but I have no reason to say he's better than Broner.

He does look a lot slicker tho.

Oan, whats this gentleman BS Bob is talking about when Chavez Jr is one of his main fighters

[MC Hammer]

I think bob is right on this,,,

5 years from now crawford will be going strong, while the broner train will have been derailed.....

Broner is like a hatton, tyson, toney, bowe type fighter where he has plenty of talent but not the 365 24/7 dedication to the sport,,

Crawford is cut from the same cloth as floyd, hopkins, jmm,, true professionals that are always in shape and always handle business

right now broner is a bigger name and better resume, but by 2018 broner will old news, and crawford will be still going strong,,

Crawford may never become a huge superstar, but like pernell and "pretty boy" version of floyd, he will just keep winnning but may not make all the headlines

Please let me know;what has he done to get this comparison?

They were the best at each weight class. Who could he have fought? Paulie was a bum but thats about it.

They were not the best in their weight class. And I wouldn't use Ponce as an example of Broner's class when most saw Ponce beating Broner in that fight. Most hardcore fans and press row.

Just showing the list, it's ring magzaine's not mine.

dude that list is BS! the ghost, juanma, or rios had all moved up in weight. nobody was screaming about vazquez till he beat an unproven hype job plus broner offered him the fight and he turned it down. broner would've destroyed vazquez and abril. when younge fighters move up 2 weight classes they never fight "the best" pac didnt do it and nobody else does it. stop hatin! crawford is def the truth though

[ShoulderRoll]

Both of them are good and seem to be future stars for American boxing.

But at this point Broner has the better resume. DeMarco was viewed by many as the best lightweight and Adrien was also willing to fight Ricky Burns. Sadly the Scotsman was shook and turned down a career high payday.

Omar would KO him easy

cut it out. crawford would whoop omar's a@@ omar hasnt fought anyone ethier. he couldnt even ko the asian dude he connected on all night. omar would come in brawling and get countered and took to school, prob would get stoped. bet the house on it!

i back up arum on this one he is 100% correct. Broner is trying to be like mayweather but really can't be. Mayweather talks so much **** before the fight and knows is a talking game and selling the fight. Broner on the other hand takes it so seriously he feels he has to put down his opponent when he didn't perform well in the fight or backed up what he said he would do cough cough malig.

I mean for him to trick his gf on proposing that is so sad he feels he has to humiliate his gf in order to look good or funny. Talking **** only works when you back it up and have skills like ali, pbf, jones etc not because you talk **** and act ****** will make you money look at mayorga he never sold imense purses.

in boxes is both ways you can talk **** and make money if you have the skills or be gentleman and make money as well most recently Dlh
